My latest project

I just finished up this cell phone case. I'm pretty happy with how it came out.

It's made of silver plate wire that was strung with a variety of glass seed beads - exploding in colors and sizes - then single stitch crocheted into a mesh envelope. I then sewed a purple with white polka dots linen liner and secured it inside the wire mesh envelope.

After choosing a beautiful dichroic glass cabochon that was made by Tonja Lenderman of Tonja's Treasures, I wire wrapped and secured it onto the flap for use as the button portion of the closure. Then, I made the clasp portion from rubber cording that was also wire wrapped onto the front of the case.

I single crocheted a luscious variegated yarn into a small loop for a handle and together with a silver plate "C" charm secured them to the case as a final flair.

The measurements are approximately three and one half inches by two inches and the case was made to fit an LG Banter cell phone.

I make wearable art and more!.This includes bags, accessories, art beads, boxes, scarfs, functional and fun sculpture and just about anything else I take a fancy to!

From design to construction, I do my best work and hope that it shows in my items. I'm happy to answer any and all questions related to my work.

These items were created from premium, artist-grade polymer clay. I primarily use KATO brand clay. No paints, decals, stickers or drawing tools were used to make the designs–only the colored and translucent clays themselves.

Store your poly-clay art items in a cool, dry place. Avoid getting too much sun, aerosol sprays, perfumes, or chlorinated water onto them - as they could discolor your items.

I hope you have fun looking at my stuff and if you decide to purchase, thanks so much!
